Dirigeant d’Entreprise, Protection de l'Environnement, théorie des échelons supérieursRésumé
Objectif : Ce papier a pour objectif d’examiner l'impact des caractéristiques démographiques du dirigeant sur l’indicateur environnemental de la RSE dans les entreprises financières et non financières camerounaises, notamment le sexe, l'âge, le niveau d'éducation et la nationalité du dirigeant.
Méthode : Pour atteindre cet objectif, les données de l’Institut national de la statistique sur le Recensement général des entreprises pour l’année 2017 sont utilisées et les résultats sont estimés grâce à la méthode Logit.
Résultats : Par la méthode Logit, les estimations saillantes prouvent l'association positive et significative entre le sexe du dirigeant et la protection de l’environnement ; elles ressortent la même relation entre le jeune dirigeant et la protection de l’environnement. Par contre, la relation entre le niveau d'éducation du dirigeant et la protection de l’environnement est corrélée négativement.
Originalité/pertinence : Par rapport aux travaux antérieurs sur le rôle des caractéristiques démographiques du dirigeant, cette étude contribue aux études sur les caractéristiques du dirigeant et la performance environnementale, ce qui ajoute de la littérature à la théorie de l'échelon supérieur. L’étude suggère que les parties prenantes peuvent connaître la performance environnementale des entreprises en analysant et en comprenant les attributs de leurs dirigeants tels que le sexe, l'âge, le et niveau d'éducation.
